The Ducote sisters,
An’gel and Dickce, live in a lovely southern mansion that might
have some ghosts. They’re experienced with old houses and strange
occurrences. So when Mary Turner Catlin and her husband, Howard, ask
for help because of the strange occurrences in the Natchez mansion
they are fixing up as a bed and breakfast, the sisters can’t resist
the adventure.
The bed and
breakfast is supposedly closed during the time the sisters will be
there. However, soon unexpected guests arrive. First a psychic comes
saying she was called by the spirits inhabiting the house. Then
distant cousins, Nathan and Serenity, arrive with Serenity’s lawyer
in tow. Serenity wants to convince Nathan to give her some of her
trust fund, while Nathan wants to look for papers that will give him
title to some of the mansion’s valuable furniture housed in the
French room.
Strange things
happen almost immediately, but the action warms up considerably when
Nathan is found dead in the French room with the furniture he’s
trying to claim.
The Ducote sisters
are delightful, proper ladies who can’t resist solving a mystery.
The scenery was lovely and the descriptions of the mansion made me
want to visit. The only criticism I have is that it took a long time
for the murder to occur, nearly halfway through the book. However,
the plot is full of twists. It’s hard to guess the murderer until
the very end.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
